And then maybe out of the relationship of downplaying the turmoil, the adjudication committee did not arrange law enforcement tasks for Christina for the time being, and Christina was also happy, knowing that Christina, who knew that she would have a long vacation next, was not at all as others thought, very lost, on the contrary, now she is very happy, after being a referee for so long, she has experienced tiredness, challenges, questioning, and complaints! She was planning to travel and also contacted Merck

And Merck happened to have time, so she went to Italy with the Merck family, and on this day Mrs. Merck went out with the children

It is a small port in southern Italy right next to the Mediterranean Sea.

It's a hot summer, and the beach is full of tourists from afar, no more than Sicily, who come here are people from the neighborhood and a group of children playing crazy on the beach.

In the distance, there are freighters coming to the port to load and unload goods, and one or two whistles can be heard from time to time.

Italian, for sure, is spoken, but they speak the nearby Calabrian dialect, a language that is confusing to anyone as proficient in Italian as Christina.

But the people here are very welcoming, although Cristina is not Italian, and her speech is not out of place with the locals, but the people here still welcome him very warmly, especially the owner of this restaurant near the beach, in addition to Christina's food and drink, they also gave them a small parasol for free.

The waitress was a thin girl of about 16 or 17 years old, with a lot of freckles on her face, she couldn't see anything in her appearance, she was still very immature, and the wide parasol was obviously a bit heavy for her, and she could only use it on her back if she couldn't hold it, but she was still out of breath.

Christina and Merck sat on the beach, watching from a distance, feeling a little unbearable, so Merck ran over.

"I'd better do it!" Merck took the parasol in her hand and said with a smile.

A parasol that was quite heavy for the waitress, but not too difficult for the strong Merck, and the waitress followed him obediently.

After arriving at the place, the waitress skillfully opened the parasol, and then helped Christina and the others set up the beach table and chairs.

"Sister, two more sets, we have an appointment!" Christina said with a smile.

The waitress looked up and saw Christina's smile, a little dazzling in the scorching sun, she blushed, nodded immediately, and ran back as if flying.

"What's going on?" Christina wondered.

Merck was already laughing on the side, "I guess you're too charming, and other little girls can't stand it!" ”

Christina also sat speechless, sipping a cold drink, waiting for the target who didn't know when it would come.

From a distance, I saw the waitress constantly greeting the guests on the beach, but her boss was sitting in the store, looking very bad, and thinking about the waitress's thinness, Christina felt pity for her.

"Your boss is so unpleasant!" When the waitress came over to set up the beach chairs, Christina said with some indignation.

The freckled girl raised her head again, looked at Christina deeply, and suddenly her face turned red again, and she did not dare to answer.

"Are you from here?" Christina wanted to inquire about something.

The girl shook her head as she fiddled with the table and chairs: "No, I'm from nearby Sicily!" ”

"Sicily? Great place! I've heard that there are beautiful women! "Christina remembered a famous movie called "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", in which the big beauty is Monica? Bellucci, also Italian, is said to have been born in Perugia.

How do you know that the girl was shocked after hearing this, and looked at Christina in disbelief, the latter also thought that this girl was very strange, why did she seem to be very interested in herself?

Is it your own fan?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt like it, and when Christina saw that the girl was busy and sweating, she also felt that she was quite pitiful, so she reached into her pocket, found two 100 euro bills, and stuffed them into the girl's hands.

"Little sister, for you!" Christina looked at the stunned girl with a grin.

200 euros is really nothing to Christina today, and she can find an excuse to reimburse her family, and she is happy to be a favor.

The girl gave Christina a deep look, and dragged the two bills of 100 denominations tightly, and flew away.

"Wow, isn't it, I didn't even say thank you, you fan is really unkind!" Merck grumbled with a laugh.

Christina doesn't care, but she also feels that it feels cool to go out and meet fans!

The two chatted for a while, and the person they were waiting for finally arrived.

Merck's good friend is also a competitor, the famous Collina

Corina, male, from Bologna, Italy, born in February 1960, 1.88 meters tall, 74 kg in weight, professional bank business agent, became an international referee in 1995. He is fluent in four languages: Italian, Spanish, French and English. He has officiated a series of major matches such as the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup final and the match between Argentina and England.

Pierluigi Collina "bald referee". The referee, who officiated in the Serie A and spoke Italian, Spanish, French and Chinese English, was the referee who officiated in 1977, Serie A in 1991 and international matches in 1995.

As one of the top referees in Europe, Christina impressed him the most with one match:

One of the players was fierce on the pitch at first, but after they kicked down the opponent's playmaker from behind in the midfield, and was immediately shown a yellow card by Collina, they knew that the bald referee was indeed not a wasted person, even if they yelled at Collina, they could not change the basis of his decision, and he also warned the players who came up - if you do this again, I will continue to show yellow cards!

Well, this Italian referee aura like a bald sea monster is really strong...... "At that time, Cristina praised in her heart, which was earned by Corina with more than ten years of high-level law enforcement and no favoritism, although people sometimes think that he is unkind, but when Corina treats any player equally, they will also be convinced of this, even if it is a big-name player, after Corina makes a penalty, there will generally be no objections!

People always know what is good and bad, and when you know that you are facing an iron-faced and selfless referee, you will also have a little respect for him.

And a few years ago, he wrote a book about some stressful scenes. In a Serie A match against Juventus at 1ilan, the linesman signalled that the attacking player was not offside, so he ruled that a goal from Inter Milan was valid. But just as Inter Milan was celebrating and Juventus was preparing to make a comeback, Corina overheard the linesman arguing with the Juventus players and realized that the linesman had made a mistake. Corina overturned the previous verdict – the most audacious decision a referee could make.

And in a fierce Serie B match, when the goalkeepers of both teams were attacked by throwing objects from opposing fans, Corina changed the rules and allowed the two teams to switch venues, thus ensuring the safety of the goalkeeper and the continuation of the game.

The key, says Corina is building relationships – on the pitch with the players, and in the business with the employees. "Sometimes, your decision is recognized, not just because it was the right one, but also because your relationship is positive."

There is also a leadership trait in refereeing that is not always understood. "I always say that the ultimate goal of a referee is to be accepted even if a mistake is made. Because it means the players trust you. If someone trusts you, it means that they will accept you even if you are wrong. You don't get recognition because of your role, but because of what you do. ”

"It's the same for managers. You won't get recognition for being a CEO. You get recognized because you show everyone that you are managing your company the right way. ”

Business leaders who want to learn how to deal with the pressure would do well to focus on the referee's watch during Euro 2008, rather than the game itself. If we were to believe Collina's rulebook, those who didn't show a bit of nervousness before the game probably shouldn't have been on the field at all.

"I always need to be a little nervous before a heavy fight," Collina said. "You feel more empowered, more powerful. But there are limits to that. If you are overly nervous, it will affect your performance. ”

Before becoming a referee, Corina worked in the financial world. After retiring from the army, he sometimes returned to finance as a consultant. But most of the time, he is an ambassador for Mastercard, a sponsor of the Uefa Champions League and the European Championship. Or, he'll walk into a company and show people why football is similar to business. "What happens on the pitch, happens at the desk."

Elsewhere, as secretary general of the Italian Referees' Association, he was busy appointing referees for Serie A and Serie B matches. Two years after the match-fixing scandal in the two leagues, Corina simply said, "We have a zài problem. As usual, when something happens, you have to make the necessary changes and look forward. That's what Italian football does. ”

He stated that the referees never reported any bribery intentions to him.

The topic he prefers to talk about is respect, although officials are not at the top of the list of people he considers most worthy of respect. "Football needs to be played with respect first and foremost, but also respect for the opponent, respect for the spectators and respect for the referee," he said. "It's a very critical word."

It's the same in business. "Respect is important. If you don't respect consumers or competitors, you won't succeed. Obeying the rules means respecting. ”

There is also a leadership trait in refereeing that is not always understood. "I always say that the ultimate goal of a referee is to be accepted even if a mistake is made. Because it means the players trust you. If someone trusts you, it means that they will accept you even if you are wrong. You don't get recognition because of your role, but because of what you do. ”

The reason why I know so much is because Christina is his fan, and when she saw the bald referee, Christina immediately stood up and said hello, and when she saw her old friend and this beautiful little guy, Corina also smiled!
